Presidential Missions

AASCU organizes Presidential Missions to countries
outside of
the United States. These trips allow our member presidents and chancellors to
explore potential linkages with institutions of higher education around the
world. The expectation is that these presidential missions will lead to
partnerships and programs at the institutional level, supported and sustained
by AASCU and its network of relationships in the host country. Specifically,
AASCU’s presidential missions are designed to create opportunities for faculty
and student exchanges, as well as program collaborations with the host country.

AASCU’s first presidential mission took
place in September
2003 with a delegation to Cuba. Since then, AASCU has sponsored presidential
delegations to Morocco
(2005), South
Africa
(2006),
Chile (2008),
Brazil (2012),
Cuba (2015),
Jordan
and Oman.

AASCU's 2019 Presidential Mission will be held in Argentina.

Please join us from March 7-17, 2019 in Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Mendoza.

In-country program will include meetings
with Ministry of Education, US Embassy and higher education officials;
university visits; cultural activities; and opportunities for dialogue and
development of academic partnerships.

Delegation will be limited to 15-20
Presidents/Chancellors and spouses/partners.

Final costs are dependent on the total
number of travelers. The estimated per person cost will be approximately
$6000.00
